60057 FOCKEA EDULIS ASC HP TGH $ 11.50 Caudiform from the South African veldts. Silvery swollen base with raised bumpy "bark"; small rubbery succulent foliage. Not fussy about conditions (well, don't freeze it!) and thus certainly one of the best succulents for beginners; yet quite handsome fat bottomed character which becomes more impressive every year. Thus, a good way to start your collection of caudexes with a plant you'll never dream of parting with.

60692 FOCKEA AFRICANA (SPECIES AFRICA, TUGALENSIS) ASC HP TGH $ 18.00 Caudiform with brown-barked vine studded with purple-backed, pointed leaves. Not Fockea natalensis, but a plant sometime allied with Tacazzia. Often called Fockea tugalensis or Pentodentia natalensis. You'll find this handsome caudiform vine ignores all of this, instead concentrating on being beautiful.

60184 FREREA INDICA ASC HP TGH $5.25 "Leafy Starfish" Semi-erect, then pendant leafy branches produce beautiful convex red starfish flowers spotted sulphur yellow. From india, prefers constant warmth and even moisture in an epiphytic mix. If ordered to be sent during a less warm period of the year, we typically send as an URCutting in dry moss so it will travel without chance of rot. Formerly Caralluma frerea, a great favorite among lite gardeners, as it thrives in such environments--in fact, customers tell us it is everblooming in lite gardens.

68072 FURCRAEA GIGANTEA VARIEGATA [STRIATA] AGA $ 15.00 "Giant False Agave" Beautifully striated soft sword-like lvs in wide open habit; occasional marginal spines. A native of Brazil formerly included in Amaryllidaceae. Handsome. F. gigantea probably more correct as F. foetida--no matter which name mere humans wish to use, this splendid living sculpture will eventually require a forklift to be moved.

GASTERIAS AND HAWORTHIAS for the 2008 SEASON

The GASTERIAS AND HAWORTHIAS are often linked together because of their similarity in growth habits and identical growing conditions. They make a wonderful visually compatible collection, both great in a light garden in the house as well as the greenhouse. We have two collections from which we gather some representatives of each, offering two levels of rarity in these distincly different collections. The first is #99025 which includes strong growing selections from our considerable stock of these fat lilies to emphasize the range of growth habits & charming designs. 5 plants @ $14.50

The second includes a bit rarer types with variegated selections among them. Use stock # 99146 for 5 rarer and/or variegated clones @ $25.00

65103 GASTERIA CAESPITOSA [HORT FORM] LIL HP TGH $ 4.75 Much-spiraled twisted glossy spotted leaves in very petite upreaching cute clusters; excellent compact form with elongated lvs.

65132 GASTERIA CARINATA X VERRUCOSA LIL HP TGH $ 8.50 Dark dull gloss deep olive bowties of leaves, somewhat blunt-edged, with rasied pale bumps on the entire surface. Seldom offered.

65666 GASTERIA GLOMERATA SILVER FORM [HORT] LIL CGH $ 8.00 Very congested hemispheres of multiple disticous heads of very short fat silvery gray leaves. Coral toned tubular blossoms presented on short erect stems are for more showy than any other species we have observed. Fat offsets are sent. Very very beautiful when grown to a full specimen comprising a hemisphere of obese platinum bow ties.

65109 GASTERIA GRACILIS VARIEGATA [HORT] LIL HP $ 6.00 Very dwarf clustering stacks of cream striped fat pillowy leaves pushing out to eventually from fabulous hemispheres of many heads of bowtie plantlets. Very popular for small dish gardens, for light culture.

65670 GASTERIA LIME WARTY [HORT] LIL HP TGH $ 15.00 A remarkable large statured "Warty Bow Tie Plant" with fat flattened olive hued leaves with lime striations, all strewn with oddly decorative rasied warts. Certainly as close as a plant would need to morph in order to imitate a toad's coloration and skin texture.

65114 GASTERIA NIGRICANS MARMORATA VARIEGATA LIL $ 8.00 Fat short lvs in tight "Bow Ties" are embossed with rich milk-chocolate and ivory stripes. Remarkably beautiful.

65117GASTERIA SILVER STRIPES [HYB]LIL HP TGH $ 4.25Hybrid or selection we received thirty plus years ago from Ed Hummel; Upright, rigid fans of strikingly pebbled green striped coriaceus leaves with ridged surface of gray-silver. Unique designs resembling expensive jewelry.

60363 GRAPTOPETALUM PARAGUAYENSE CRA HP CGH $ 3.25"Ghost Plant" Fat angled amethyst-gray leaves, with a silvery bloom giving a "mother-of-pearl" effect, on swooping thick stems; modest white flowers. A traditional favorite potplant for the sunny windowsill, for that pearly foliaged patio accent plant and for that hanging basket showoff; certainly imperative in any succulent wreath. Pretty, succulent and easy--sounds like the perfect plant date.
